Confessions of an over-packer

by Donna Hull on 2008/05/29

I admit it. I’m an over-packer. The thought of being unprepared gives me the shakes so I run to the suitcase with another must-take outfit or pair of shoes. But, fellow baby boomer over-packers, help is only a click away. Over at Onebag.com, Doug Dyment maintains a site filled with packing advice. And, at One Bag, One World, Brad Isbell blogs about traveling light. 

With airlines adding new charges for checking bags, baby boomers and travelers of all kinds will be joining me in changing their packing ways. Now, put down that extra pair of shoes, step away from the suitcase and check out today’s links.

Are you an expert at packing light? Post your tips. Help me overcome the over-packing syndrome.

There are two types of holiday- I always pack more for the shorter ones.
If I have an elastic week, I’m not going to spend a minute of that week bothering about laundry or trivia like that. Not on. Finding a laudromat, dragging stuff down hot and sticky streets. ..No way.

If I travel for months, I pack hardly nothing. Travel light and you can sing in the robbers face. :-)
